Baron lives in California and he's a very talented artist. He constructs art, furniture, lamps and working cars, that all hint at retro futurism. You know, how current times were supposed to look, as imagined by the science fiction artists of the 1930s and 40s. Yeah, well, we don't exactly have personal rocket packs these days. But that doesn't stop Baron from creating his own rocket car.
I know. Cool as Hell, isn't it?
Baron is also designs and builds his "rocket lamps". each one plugs into a regular wall socket and runs off of standard power supplies. My personal favorite is below. (It reminds me of the rocket that Jack Knight used to explore space, rescuing Michael, the 1980's Starman. And you have to be pretty fucking cool to get that reference.)
Can you imagine that bad boy, sitting on your desk, and when it gets too dark, you absent-mindedly turn on your rocket lamp and then keep working on whatever you're working on. I love it. (If you're looking for a last minute gift idea and have over $1,000 to spend, I'd love one of his rocket lamps. Thankyouverymuch.)
Anyways, Baron is amazing. I found him accidentally, researching retro-futuristic designs and have been a fan since then. Now you can be one too. You can learn more about him by visiting his website, here.
Cheers,
Mr.B
